As for the MTM reunion on "Oprah"... Be sure to check your local affiliates late-night rebroadcast schedule of the show. The ABC affiliate here in NYC sometimes rebroadcasts the same episode at 1:00am that was broadcast that afternoon, and sometimes they don't. And sometimes they will fill a "spare" late hour on the weekends with an "Oprah" show from the past week.

I wish they would do that more here in this area. THe local NBC affiliate will rebroadcast previous installments of Conan and Jay Leno. However we have Informercial "heck" on the other two. I would rather see an hour or two of Oprah instead of informercials.

My instinct is that David A. is a total natural. However, part of his "naturalness"(?) comes from listening to lots of music, lots of singers, lots of versions, and then he somehow sorts out what he likes and doesn't like in regards to sound and stylings. *Although, that video of him singing "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going" is pretty much a spot-on mimic of Jennifer Holliday.

What's been really interesting to me are the people who find David A's voice unpleasant - nasal, caught in the throat, covered, not "free". Well... To me, it's just a different sound. He actually reminds me of a less mature sounding Josh Groban at least in regards to the timbre of their voices. -And Josh Groban's voice sometimes sits well on my ears and sometimes it doesn't.

Due to my work schedule I have only seen a couple of American Idol. I like both David A and David C.

I believe that's in line with my comments. I knew Clarkson and Underwood had outsold Aiken in CDs, but I think he's made his filthy lucre in concert appearances.

More power to 'em all. And may Elliot Yamin and Melinda Doolittle soon join them.

I did not care for Kelly Pickler... Her voice grates my nerves.

What ever happened to Ruben Stoddard? Taylor Hicks?

Kelly Clarkson is coming to Grand Forks this summer for a concert.

I started to watch Sergeant's Three on TCM and promptly fell asleep for an hour. Prior to that, I re-entered my fixes on the new galley with the non-ragged right side - much neater, and I'm now halfway through finding widows, orphans, and bad breaks. Not all that many, frankly.

I had a Chinese Chicken Salad for lunch, and a donut. I'm wondering if I should eat something else or leave it at that.

Perhaps I'll mosey on over to Gelson's and see if there's anything that catches my eye, food-wise. Just some sort of snackarooni.

I began my evening by finishing MURDER SHE SAID. Always enjoy it even though I've probably seen it 25 or 30 times in my life. It's like comfort food. You know what it's going to be and it never disappoints.

Next, I watched THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW. I had seen it before when it first appeared on HBO-HD, but they had compromised the aspect ratio by reformatting it to 1.78:1, so this was my first time seeing the entire wide frame image. Pretty spectacular special effects. Story is fairly lame, but it has a first rate cast, and the combination of spectacular Blu-ray picture and DTS-HD Master Audio sound made for a VERY involving movie. Reference quality stuff for video and audio.

I continued getting my Jake Gyllenhaal fix by rewatching portions of BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN while I waited for 10 p.m. to arrive. Always a pleasure watching his award winning work in this movie. (He won the BAFTA Best Supporting Actor award for his performance).

I watched the last four minutes of AMERICAN IDOL.

The winner came as no surprise (as I said, he'd been the leader for the last two months), but I was fairly disgusted with Simon Cowell. I don't for a minute believe he "recanted" his opinion a bit without some inside information. I think as one of the producers, he was tipped off as to the winner, and not wanting to appear as if he couldn't pick the right winner, tried to go back on his opinions of the night before.

His ego got the best of him, I think.

CSI: NY had an excellent season ending episode except, like many shows this season, left it with a real cliffhanger and NO resolution at all. See you guys back in September. You'll be the only CSI show I'll be watching next season.

Matt H. · « **Reply #286 on:** May 21, 2008, 08:28:13 PM »

TOmorrow I'll have BOSTON LEGAL and LAW & ORDER to watch.

I'm also planning to get started on the next review set: the Logo series EXES AND OHS.

When I went to Utah, I took travel sizes... However, I found myself buying a lot of lotion. My skin always felt dry.

Just remember, only the liquids and gels in your carry-on have to be under 3 oz. and in a Zip-Loc bag. You can still have larger sizes in your checked luggage.

With no writing to do, I will be heading down now to bed, the earliest I've been able to retire in quite some time!

Good night!

As for "Idol"... I was sort of surprised that they ran over for as many minutes as they did. I had to go ahead and start recording the "10:00 News" so that my roommate would be able to see the whole show.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #290 on:** May 21, 2008, 09:06:54 PM »

Well, I have a full day of auditions ahead of me, so...

Goodnight.

Well, we do have nine count them nine GUESTS just sitting there like so much fish.

Fourteen GUESTS and li'l ol' me. Limbo, anyone?

Make that nineteen GUESTS. Anyone for the Lambada (The Forbidden Dance)?

Back from seeing Man of La Mancha at Capital Playhouse. It was very good.

Great set, good voices, costumes appropriately distressed...the only distraction (and not in a good way) was this one moment when one of the chorus guys comes out from under a table and you see his very wide and very bright band from his Calvin Cline underwear sticking out from under his pants.
